“I succeeded. I succeeded.”
“Haha, I have finally conquered it. I have successfully stepped into the Supreme Realm. I am now a Supreme Realm martial cultivator.”
At that moment, Chu Lingxi, who had originally been sitting with her eyes tightly closed, suddenly leapt up. She jumped and bounced around, utterly delighted.
But when she turned around, she suddenly froze.
Her mouth hung open wide, as if she had been petrified, completely motionless.
“I…”
“This…”
“What is going on?”
Chu Lingxi stared at Chu Feng, at a complete loss. The joy on her face vanished in an instant.
“What’s wrong? Why are you dazed? Don’t you recognise me?”
Chu Feng said to Chu Lingxi.
“Damn it, did I fail?”
“Could I have gone mad in cultivation and already died?”
“How could this happen?”
Chu Lingxi suddenly shifted from joy to sorrow. Her entire mood became extremely low.
“Silly girl, you succeeded. You have successfully conquered the bloodline lotus of my Wanzhou Ancient Clan. You are now a Supreme Realm powerhouse.”
Gu Mingyuan walked forward and tightly embraced Chu Lingxi. The moment she held her, the tears swirling in her eyes finally flowed uncontrollably.
There is truth in the saying that no parent in the world is without compassion.
As a mother, she naturally hoped that Chu Lingxi’s achievements would surpass her own.
And now, that hope had essentially come true.
“Mother, I… am I not dreaming?”
“Is this real?”
Feeling the warmth of her mother’s embrace, Chu Lingxi suddenly realised something.
“Silly girl, of course this is real. Chu Feng is also here to participate in the Strongest Junior Competition. When he learned we were here, he came to see us.”
“By the way, the reason you were able to break through smoothly is thanks to Chu Feng’s help.”
“To help you break through, Chu Feng expended quite a few treasures. You should hurry and thank him properly.”
Gu Mingyuan wiped her tears while smiling at Chu Lingxi.
“So it was Chu Feng who helped me?”
“No wonder. I was wondering why that change happened so suddenly.”
“I was clearly about to…”
Chu Lingxi knew her cultivation process better than anyone. Earlier, she had fallen into danger, yet without any warning, her situation began to improve.
She had been puzzled as to why that change occurred. Now she knew.
It turned out that Chu Feng had helped her.
“Alas, my little brother Chu Feng, it seems I owe you once again.”
Chu Lingxi looked at Chu Feng. Her words carried a hint of reluctance, as if she really disliked owing him this favour.
Yet although she said that, her small face could not hide her joy. Seeing Chu Feng was an unexpected delight for her.
“Why call me little brother? You should call me big brother.” Chu Feng said.
“Why should I call you big brother? You are clearly the little brother.” Chu Lingxi asked, utterly confused.
“Whoever has the higher cultivation is the elder. You said that yourself. How can you go back on your word?” Chu Feng said.
“That does not count. I am your big sister, and you are my little brother.”
Chu Lingxi tilted her small face up, looking utterly unreasonable.
“Alright, you two stop bickering.”
“We need to leave here quickly. Otherwise, if Lu Wantong arrives, it will be too late.”
As Gu Mingyuan spoke, she looked at Chu Feng.
“Chu Feng, your timing is perfect. Originally, Lingxi and I alone did not have absolute confidence, but with you here, it is no longer a problem.”
As she spoke, she took out a book from her bosom.
The book was very ancient, covered in talismans. One could say that every page was a talisman paper, each containing a formation. So many talisman papers together formed a relatively powerful formation.
It was a teleportation formation.
However, this teleportation formation did not require boundary power to activate. Instead, it was activated by martial power.
“Senior, you took the risk of letting Lingxi use that treasure to forcibly cultivate.”
“It was so that after she stepped into the Supreme Realm, she could activate this item together with you and use it to escape from here?”
Chu Feng asked Gu Mingyuan.
In truth, he did not need to ask. He already knew it must be the case, but he still wanted confirmation.
“Chu Feng, do not blame my mother. We had no choice.”
Chu Lingxi wanted to explain, but before she could finish, Gu Mingyuan spoke.
“Lingxi, Chu Feng already knows what happened.” Gu Mingyuan said.
“Since you know, you absolutely cannot blame my mother. I would rather die than marry that Lu Wantong. Rather than die, it is better to try escaping.”
Chu Lingxi said.
“I am not blaming your mother. How could I possibly blame her?”
“I am only furious. Furious at that Lu Wantong, and even more furious at that Gu Yang.”
“Today I came. If I had not come, Lingxi’s future would have been ruined.”
“And the culprit behind all this is that Gu Yang.”
After saying this, Chu Feng looked at Gu Mingyuan. “Senior, I have one request.”
“What is it?” Gu Mingyuan asked.
“That Gu Yang cannot be allowed to live. I want to kill him. Do not stop me.” Chu Feng said.
“Chu Feng, Gu Yang cannot be killed. He is now allied with Lu Wantong. I do not want you to offend Lu Wantong.” Gu Mingyuan said.
“Lu Wantong?”
“Hmph, he is the same as Gu Yang. Neither will live.”
As Chu Feng spoke, his robes fluttered. Then, the surging power hidden within his body erupted at that moment.
“This aura…”
Sensing Chu Feng’s aura, both Gu Mingyuan and Chu Lingxi changed expression drastically.
“Chu Feng, could you now be… a rank six Supreme?”
Gu Mingyuan asked Chu Feng.
She asked this because she could not determine Chu Feng’s cultivation.
But she had felt Lu Wantong’s aura and knew he was a rank five Supreme. Yet Chu Feng’s aura was clearly far stronger than Lu Wantong’s.
That was why she guessed Chu Feng might be a rank six Supreme.
“Senior, I have indeed stepped into the rank six Supreme Realm.”
“So we have absolutely nothing to fear from that Lu Wantong.”
“We do not need to flee at all. Instead, we need to settle this account with them clearly.”
“Daring to force marriage upon my little sister Lingxi, I will make them understand the consequences.” Chu Feng said.
“No, we still need to leave. The terror of Lu Wantong does not actually lie in his own cultivation, but in the backing behind him.”
“Under normal circumstances it would be fine, but this Strongest Junior Competition has attracted powerhouses from various forces, many of whom Lu Wantong knows.”
“When Lu Wantong came here that day, several old men followed behind him.”
“Although those people did not act, one could feel they were unfathomably deep. Their strength is most likely above Lu Wantong’s.”
Gu Mingyuan still did not want Chu Feng to take risks.
“The Wanzhou Ancient Clan actually sought help from others?”
“I would like to see who is so bold as to ruin my, Lu Wantong’s, good deed.”
At that moment, an angry roar came from outside.
Looking outward, Chu Feng could see a grand procession of people flying through the air, already entering the city limits.
Those people wore different attire, clearly from various forces.
Though there were not many, only a few hundred, each carried themselves arrogantly, as if they were gods, looking down upon the people of the Wanzhou Ancient Clan.
If one had to point it out, only one person among them did not look like a big shot.
That was Gu Yang. Gu Yang was also among the group. He had indeed gone to report them.
These people were the ones he had summoned.
Notably, Gu Yang stood at the very front of the crowd, more precisely beside an old man.
That was an old man wearing a World Spiritist robe.
The World Spiritist robe was extremely gorgeous, surging with dragon-marked sacred-level boundary power. The robe alone revealed the old man’s identity.
He was a dragon-marked Saint-cloak World Spiritist.
Yet compared to his gorgeous World Spiritist robe, his personal appearance was far too underwhelming. Judging solely by looks, he simply did not match the robe he wore.
The wrinkles and spots on his face were nothing, after all, common in the elderly. His fluffy hair could also be understood, as some people preferred that style.
But the nose hairs sticking out like head hair were truly nauseating to behold.
And when he spoke, a mouth full of yellow and black teeth was utterly revolting.
“That fellow, is he Lu Wantong?”
Chu Feng pointed at the old man and asked Chu Lingxi.
“Yes.”
Chu Lingxi nodded.
“This Gu Yang truly deserves death!!!”
After confirmation, the rage in Chu Feng’s heart surged up uncontrollably.
If it were a normal young man, Chu Feng could still understand.
But that Lu Wantong was not only old, he was also extraordinarily ugly.
For his own ambitions, Gu Yang had actually introduced Chu Lingxi to such a person. Chu Feng felt he was unforgivable and must not be allowed to die a good death!!!
